Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Van-Con, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2018 model year 33803 Dual Rear Wheel school buses equipped with specific CE White/HSM SB11-30" series seats, either standard unbelted versions or versions with lap belts only. The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough impact energy during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to passengers and causes these vehicles to fail to meet federal safety standards for school bus seating and crash protection.
Van-Con will install a parts kit free of charge to address this issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 2, 2019. Affected owners should contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484 to arrange for the repair.
